	Commentary	At night, don Quixote and Sancho observe the appearance of the Knight of the Mirrors (Sansón Carrasco) and his squire (Tomé Cecial). Vierge's style is absolutely masterly; his figures are detailed and real. Notice the perfect use of shading. Usual in Vierge's illustrations, some element in black creates a worth noting contrast. His short and fine drawing lines imitate etching.
	Notes	1 - Vierge's original drawings (Chinese ink and wash) were reproduced by photogravure (notice the plate mark); the specific technique used, heliogravure, allows an excellent reproduction both of the original wash halftones and of the lines.
